Answer:

The slope: 3

The y-intercept: 6

Explanation:

First we need to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

2y - 4 = 6x + 8

+4 +4 <--- Add 4 to both sides

2y = 6x + 12

2 2 2 <--- Divide 2 by every number included in the equation.

y = 3x + 6 <--- Final answer

y = 3x + 6 - Based on this equation we can tell that 3 is the slope since it is next to x, and 6 is the y-intercept since it is isolated in the equation.

I hope this helps!
